Solutions

Expert Solution

Answer 31):-

The initiator used in the polymerisation of isobutylene are Lewis acids, such as BF3 , AlCl3 , SnCl4 , TiCl4 ....etc.

------------------------------------

Answer 32):-

Carbocation (cation) is the general name of the product produced by the cationic polymerisation...

-------------------------------------

Answer 33):-

Besides the monomer, the reactant used in cationic polymerisation is the carbocation or cation generated in initiation step (as, in the intiation step of the polymerisation of isobutylene) .....

With the aid of diagrams describe the radical polymerization of vinyl acetate using AIBN as initiator. Describe initiator formation, monomer initiation, and propagation steps. In addition, describe the various mechanisms by which chain termination (no capacity for further growth) can occur. Describe the various ways in which charge transfer could occur (potential for further growth) for the polymerization described in part (b) above.

What are the main chemical reactions involved in AMD formation? What is the “initiator reaction” and the “propagation cycle”? Why is this cyclical nature (regeneration of Fe2+) problematic? How do microbes play a role in these reactions? What is “yellow boy”? Oxidation of Fe2+ is very slow at low pH values. Why does this reaction occur then in acidic environments?
